The Koshare Indian Museum is an art and scouting museum in La Junta, Colorado.[1] The building, located on the Otero Junior College campus, is a tri-level museum with an attached kiva that is built with the largest self-supporting log roof in the world.[2] The building was built in 1949.[3]
The museum features works of Pueblo and Plains tribal members.[4]
The museum also facilitates Boy Scouts traveling to Philmont Ranch by providing museum discounts, as well as hostel stays for visiting Boy Scout troops.[5]
For decades, Native American response to the Koshare dance performances has been negative based upon cultural appropriation of indigenous cultures as a form of racial discrimination.
